Based on review, when an authorization for medication expires, medication that expired was not returned to the parent within 14 days or disposed of by the center by either dissolving the medication down the sink or flushing it down the toilet.
Evidence:
1. Child F had an medication authorization for an emergency medication that was signed by the doctor and parent on 3/29/2017. The authorization form expired on 3/29/2018 and should be renewed at least every 12 months.

Plan of Correction:

I will have the parent sign a short term authorization for medication form or return the medication until the parent is able to get the doctor's signature on the form.

A compliance history is in no way a rating for a facility.

The online compliance history includes only information after July 1, 2003. In addition, the online compliance history includes information regarding adverse actions that may be the subject of a pending appeal. An adverse action is not final until a provider has exhausted or waived all due process rights. For compliance history prior to July 1, 2003, or information regarding the status of pending adverse actions, please contact the Licensing Inspector listed in the facility's information. The Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) is not responsible for any errors in or omissions from the compliance history information.
